·That's the question I am asking about a Seiko 7S26-0040 automatic a divers watch I bought for just a few pounds on a local car boot sale, BC or Before Covid.
I took it to my local jeweller who sent it away for what we both thought would just be a service, I must point out it wasn't working when I bought it.
Before he sent it he removed the back, the balance wheel was spinning freely as was the rotor but there were signs of water ingress.
I still sent it anyway thinking a good service would sort it out and I would have another good watch.
When it came back he showed me what the watch repairer had wrote on the envelope.
"Very worn cant be done"
So when is a watch considered to be too worn to be repaired?
If it's not repairable does anyone know where there is a movement for this watch as I am not going to chuck it out, I like the look of this watch.
